September’s Jewel of the Month is a sex-ay mixed pair of silver stud earrings. Say hello to my little friends — the emoji peach and eggplant! If you’re fluent in emoji, you know what this combo means. Even if you’re not fluent in emoji and think to yourself, “If I had a dirty mind, what…

These students haven’t had the advantages…

Jewels of the Month: More Emoji Earrings

November 2, 2016 by WendyB

The Unicode Consortium — aka Emoji Headquarters — is killing it lately! The consortium used to approve new emojis at such a glacial pace that I started designing my own emoji-like jewelry right along with pieces representing actual emoji. For instance, I created an emoji-like middle-finger earring in 2013. Two years later, Unicode announced a…

Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #2 of 14

February 2, 2016 by WendyB

Some people loathe Valentine’s Day. “It was invented by Hallmark to sell cards!” they complain. That’s not true, though.
